What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

what in the…??

 

Is this from the movie Sonic the Hedgehog?

 

im impressed the stir stick didn’t split…I’m not worthy grasshopper

 

It was two stir sticks with razor blade sandwich in between and clamped with two screws.

 

Thinking to go GMNF near Granville end of June. My brother in law has a stock taco. Any class fours nearby that we can do with him?

 

Congrats and let the modding begin.

 

Got the KDMax Pro 10 tune early and am now able to report that it is just better all around than 9 was. Tip-ins and shifts are much smoother, and somehow my mpg actually seems to be going up. Awesome upgrade, definitely worth flashing over 9. +33ft/lbs isn't bad either.

Took advantage of the Memorial day sale and picked up these sweet Charvonia Designs billet tie downs. These things are stout. I ordered them in the textured black powdercoat. They are a nice upgrade from the wimpy factory pieces. The only downside is they came with polished hardware which stood out way too much against the black, so I painted all the hardware black with frame paint before installing.



I think they're the last mod I'm doing to the bed and they finish it off pretty nicely. I flipped them to hide the branding as it was a little too busy for my taste. They aren't very noticeable from the rear, but they look significantly beefier when you see them from the side view (alsoooo mmmmmm that storage compartment tho).



While the paint was drying, I thought it would be the perfect time to yank out the most obnoxious speaker in the world. No more beep when opening the door now! This was the last super annoying thing about this truck. The silence is beautiful.

Imagine there’s a place in another dimension where they’re trying to figure out where all these damn 10mm sockets are coming from!

 

You don't have to have PP to use it. You can check out as a "guest" and manually enter your payment card. Just skip the prompt to create an account.

I'm def going to do the washer, simple and effective.

 

I will try that checkout ... only PayPal was offered in the checkout sequence.

Check out the "home cabling" section of Lowes or HomeDepot for the compressions rings used on coaxial connections.

 

I love access cabs. Had one double cab Tacoma and I only used the back seat to carry a lunch box. Retired and now have no use for the lunch box. I also love the rear for carrying my kids dogs. Anything less than a 6' bed is pretty much useless for a truck. SUV's carry nearly as much.

Yes I like 4runner wheels.

 

You know all you need to do is press the button in the door and the beep would turn off?

 

Yes, but doing this every time is extremely annoying. This also gets rid of the 5 beeps after starting the truck and the seat belt chimes.

Does not affect backup sensor beeps or other alert tones. Perfect mod <3

Supposedly helps air enter the airbox with less restrictions. I installed one as well when upgrading to my

I did those on my '21 and easy and useful upgrade!

 

I’ve not noticed a difference if I’m being honest. I actually think Sport mode on V9 might have been a little more “sporty”.

 

I replaced the cabin air filter and washed the Taco. I just wish I could find time to set up the

GoRhino sport bar 2.0, that I got super cheap, to see if I actually want to install it or not. It has been sitting in a box in the garage for months now.






The reason I have had no time to mess with that sports bar is worth it though.

 

Rolled 20k in the 20 sport lol

 

You did 20K in 3 years! CONGRATS!!!

I hit that milestone in 2 years.
